Subject: running engine and bass loss

I have Sony CDX-A250 with rear 6x9 speakers driven by 300Wamp. Every thing works fine unitl engine is turned off and system is running from battrey. Although battery is little weak but works well to drive audio system. The problem arises whenever i start my car and drive, i can feel significant bass loss. I can't say it's completely gone but it doesn't feel solid bass as it feels when engine was turned off. there is no alternator whine or any other distortion. Tell me if it is really a problem ?

Is there an outboard amplifier on the system? If it was not a problem, would you have posted the question. My bet is "it is a problem" At least a problem to you. If I help you fix your problem, will you tell us where he is?

it is a great problem for me, Yes there is. It is a 3 way channel amplifier. it was working with no problems at all with previous headunit.

Are there any speakers connected to the radio's speaker wires? Is it possible that the amp is not working when the engine is running? There are some amplifiers that will not work if they have too much voltage on the remote turn on wire. Your other radio may have not had as much voltage going to the amp's remote terminal. If the amp seems to not be working when the engine is running, using a volt meter, I need to know the voltage on the remote terminal, first with engine off and then with engine running. Do You know where he is?

I noticed his location. The military can't find him, I figured I would ask. Was not meant to be cold at all.

road noise? maybe. are you driving when you notice less bass or are you just sitting still with the engine running

I know the amplifier's power light may remain lit, but can you verify that the speakers connected to the amp are still playing?
Remove the fuse from the amp so it will not play at all. Do the speakers connected to the radio also cut down when the engine is running?
